Re: [CHAT] Talking about Dating

Where do I start?! I'm a Christian so firstly they must share those beliefs, which is at the top of my list. I also want to have some sort of history with them whether that be friends first or acquaintances or we have the same friends I just don't want to date a complete stranger!

I also have a sister with down syndrome so they must have some understanding in that area as there is a possibility that my sister may end up living with me at some point in the future. I have a cat too so they must be able to tolerate him and I'm not going to be one of those people who get's rid of their animals for a relationship.

Re: [CHAT] Talking about Dating

1. Definitely friends first. I want my partner to be my best friend. I mean who doesn't like animals right? I wouldn't trust them if they didn't lol. Having the same beliefs would be nice because you won't have arguments about certain things but it's not necessary. Having different opinions brings up great topics to talk about with them. Having said that, opposites attract BUT they don't last.
